IMPROVEMENT IN FRUIT-JARS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,240, dated February 25, 1873.

To all w/Lom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Mrs. ELLA G. HALLER, L of Carlisle, in the county of Cumberland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fruit-J ars 3 and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forniin g part of this specification.

The invention relates to fruit-jars, and consists in a hollow glass stopper having a single central opening at the bottom, and in a jar having blown lugs on the inside and a plain,

ring on the outside, as hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

Figure l is a vertical and sectional elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan view of stopper. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of jar.

In the drawing, A represents a fruit-jar provided with blown lugs a1 al on the inside, and plain ring a2 thereabove on the outside. I blow the body and lugs iirst, and then apply plastic glass to form the plain ring a2. B is the stopper, having inclined grooves 1) and annular groove b on the outside. C is the rubber gasket, which is located in groove b, and D a cap which surmounts the stopper. This stopper is air-tight, except at the single centrally-placed hole c, which opens out from a being always below the level of the sirup, is Y prevented from shrinking so as to admit air, while the top of stopper being solid there is obtained an absolute exclusion of air, and a 4 s consequent certainty in the preservation of the fruit for any length of time.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A blown-glass stopper with an inside chamber having a central opening at the bottom only, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. As an article of manufacture, a glass jar having its neck provided on the inside with blown lugs al, and on the outside with a plain ring, 12,'as and for the purpose set forth.
